"Yes, yes well done Denaris..."

Zelkhar said with a smile and acted as, if Denaris was a child that had not gotten enough attention in his life just to bug Denaris. Zelkhar then looked around quietly and sighed.

"Well I suggest we`d better get going.... the dwarven and human kingdoms need to be in war, their alliance breaking won`t be enough.... I want proper blood and fighting.... Abbas take your men to some quiet border village and slaughter a bunch of humans, let none see you... Denaris as you are such a great mage i believe it will be fone problem of taking out some people, I will go with you.

The king of Irthun will attend a party in the palace garden because his daughter has a wedding, the wedding will be interrupted by news of the slaughter at the village where Abbas was.... and then we will crash the party by killing them all... after that taking town by town under us will be laughably easy..."

Khasian sat in his study, drawing out plans and schemes and strategies. He was trying to figure out logistics and supplies for his army. His creatures needed to feed, considering that the number of his wolves grew to five hundred and the number of his werewolves grew two hundred. Then there were scores of other creatures that needed fresh meat. He began creating a spell that made the herbivores in his mountains grow and reproduce faster. He drank from a goblet of blood as he read over his plans. He probably thought Zelkar wanted to see him. He decided to sent a letter to him via crow. He began writing that letter. He decided after he finished this, he will see Naushida. She barely saw any of him from his scheming, experimenting, and discovering.

Abbas said "Gladly, I will ready my legions. May I use my cavalry to full effect and burn many villages? That will surely incite more rage."

Naushida watched from a balcony that overlook Khasian's cages. In the dim light of the torches, she could make out serpentine flying creatures, giant armoured scorpions that seemed to have grown a skeleton, great hairy beasts that looked like a combination of a bear and a werewolf, and many more horrible monsters. Khasian oversaw the activities as modified dwarves and humans handled these beasts. Occasionally one would be eaten by the monsters but the trainers continued their work. Khasian then looked up and saw Naushida standing there. He flew up to her and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
"No," she replied. "Just looking at the results of your intelligence. You have made some improvements."
"Yeah, you see that lake?" He pointed to a fairly large lake. "It leads towards the ocean far off from here. There I have much more creatures." A loud screech from a beast interrupted them.
Khasian said, "This place isn't really much of a place to have a conversation."
He led her out from the balcony. When they exited, she asked him, "Don't you have an alliance to split?"
"I do but the others can take care of that. Unless you want me to spread that plague I created. But that lost its effect after I infected the dwarves with it."

(I am going to jump forwards now)

As the plans of the Covenant proggressed Zelkhars armies over ran the southern provinces of Irthun taking what they had been promised, keeping out of the mountains. Zelkhar knew that they all were massing, no matter what would happen all sides would be equal all tough it fairly seemed that Zelkhar was the weakest link all of the sudden despite his former mystery. He had the smallest kingdom and less soldiers, it seemed odd, but Zelkhar wasn`t counting on that. He had... other plans in his mind that were hastened by an angry presence.

The human and dwarven kingdoms divided, there were many border clashes nothing more as the dwarves fell into the influence of the undead and the humans fell to the mages ever growing organization. Meanwhile at Shurkesh and Yithaja the agents of Zelkhar worked to overcome the lands. Next remained only 3 lands to conquer so that they might launch the inevitable assault on the holy kingdom. Yitharè, Nauskal and Qattara remained as the two far away nations could be turned against each others. Zelkhar called them all to meet him in the capital of Ilra Mactu, in the great throne room where Zelkhar awaited, invisible just in case. He demanded in his letters that all must be present, also Khaisan who had not appeared the last time using the lousy excuse that he was busy or well he might as well be...

Khasian strolled among the pits where he contained all of his monsters and creatures. He had already inspected his mines to check on progress, which proved satisfactory. He watched the progress of his handlers who worked tirelessly to meet all of the creatures' demands. The phantoms and Khasian gave the creatures a minor form of human intelligence to where they would obey his orders but were dampered in the presence of Khasian. A crow then flew to Khasian, bearing a letter. Khasian took it and read it. It was from Zelkar. Apparently he wasn't too happy about him not showing up that time. Khasian folded the letter. He got himself a throne room now, Khasian thought as he prepared to meet him there. He made one last look at his pits before he went to the nearby room where all of his diseases and pathogens were produced, tested, and studied. He had confirmation that his new project was undergoing as planned.

Khasian flew from his citadel, escorted by four gargoyles and three phantoms. He looked back to see his domain of the mountains. He knew that just from the top, his entire domain could not be seen. A vast majority of it was under the mountains, a labyrinth. He then turned his attention to the capital.

Abbas forced open the doors into the throne room, his robes dripping with rain. He walked forwards.

OoC.Think like Arthas coming to kill his father in Warcraft III

OoC Nice entrance, Witchy
Khasian flew over the capital walls with his escorts. Apparently the guard had been informed that visitors would come for they were not challenged as they flew past. Khasian landed near the throne room followed by his escort. He already saw Abbas there, waiting for the new king to arrive.

"Indeed, Nuanla? Then we have much in common."

Smiling, Denaris materialized directly behind her. He took one glance at the throne room and frowned, not liking the idea of gracing any audience. "Zelkhar's quite an amusing kitten, wouldn't you agree?" he said loudly, looking expectantly at the throne.

"Not nearly as much as he does," Khasian remarked coldly. "Here we are, standing in his throne room, waiting for him. Truth be told, I can think of a hundred things I would rather be doing."

"Tell me about it"

Zelkhar said as he appeared out of nowhere again, with every meeting they went trough the less he trusted them or well he had actually never trusted them yet his fake trust was starting to fade away. The stackes got higher and higher all the time, the covenant already controlled the centre of the continent from north to south. Only three places remained until the fight against their main foe could start, if they would not all stand united against that foe they would certainly fall.

"So, Qattara, Yithare and Nauskal are still free from our grip.... I welcome some of your suggestions for now as I cannot be always the one making the orders should this be an equal alliance..."

Abbas said "I believe Yithare should go first. We already have enough men to at least match their armies."
